- Flat Rate Business Line (1FB)
- Call Forwarding Variable (ESM)
- Call Transfer (EO3) also has the functions of Three Way Conferencing. However, Three Way Calling (ESC) cannot be sold separately with Call Transfer on the same telephone number.
CenturyLink Business Line Plus package has three options for service:
- Month to month service

CenturyLink Utility Line provides an additional line. This line can only be added in conjunction with a contracted CenturyLink Business Line Plus. The CenturyLink Utility Line can only be provided on a one-to-one basis (maximum of one CenturyLink Utility Line with each CenturyLink Business Line Plus package). No additional services, such as features or listings, are allowed with this line.
Contracts do not have to be signed, but Termination Liability Assessment (TLA) may apply if a contracted package is removed prior to the expiration of the contract term.
Agreement Terms are as follows:
- If CenturyLink terminates the service(s) for cause, or if the customer terminates the service (s) in whole or in part without cause, the customer will pay termination charges calculated at 15% of the remaining value of the terminated service over the remaining term (including any services added after the date of the acknowledgement). The customer must pay all recurring and nonrecurring charges for the services being terminated through the date of termination.
- Additional services may be added to the customer's commitment, at the rate for services permitted hereunder, and the term with respect to those similar tariffs from CenturyLink at the same time as the termination of services which has a price equal to 115% of the then remaining amount of the services being terminated.
